Ingredients

¹/₄ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons cold Land O Lakes® Butter, cut into chunks

2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts

¹/₂ (17.3-ounce) package (1 sheet) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

2 ripe but firm medium pears, peeled, sliced crosswise into 1/4- to 1/8-inch-thick slices

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons sugar

Sugar, if desired

Ice cream, if desired

How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 2

Combine flour and brown sugar in bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in hazelnuts; set aside.
STEP 3

Roll out puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface into 10-inch square. Cut into 4 equal (5-inch) squares with sharp knife. Place squares onto large ungreased baking sheet. Brush edges lightly with water. Fold in 3/4 inch of dough on 2 opposite sides of each square; press down firmly. Refrigerate.
STEP 4

Combine pears, lemon juice and sugar in bowl.
STEP 5

Layer pear slices down center of puff pastry rectangles, keeping pears inside folded edges. Sprinkle each crostata with about 3 tablespoons crumb mixture. Bake 25-27 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool on cooling rack. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream, if desired.

Tip #1

- The crostatas can be baked one day ahead and stored loosely covered. Reheat in 350°F. oven for 15 minutes just before serving.

Tip #2

- Puff pastry sheets can be found in the freezer section of the supermarket. Thaw according to package directions. Work with 1 pastry sheet at a time; keep remaining sheets refrigerated. Gently unfold pastry sheets to avoid tearing folded area. Gently roll out pastry sheet with rolling pin on lightly floured surface to even out creases.
